Eerie shadows began to creep into Ri's beautiful domain, casting it over with a solemn darkness that made one's heart shake.

The old Kun Peng felt stifled. He had thought that this situation would be easy to handle the moment he sensed the Elvin aura on Ri. How hard could it be to deal with a youth? She hadn't even lived 50 years, yet they had lived thousands. But, the reality slapped their faces far too fiercely.

"Before, I had been willing to negotiate with your Clan. In payment for protecting my Elvin Kingdom's treasures for so many million years, there would of course be an appropriate reward. But, who would have guessed that not only did your ancestors break our ancient pact, you yourselves would resist me taking the things that belong to me in the first place!"

Clara, who was still standing to the side, found this situation quite funny. The threat had been perfectly neutralized, and Clara could even tell that these old fogies were looking for a way out. All Ri had to say was that she was willing to take them as subordinates and they'd bend over hand and foot. Who knew that she would be even more domineering than Dyon?

"Hmph," Ri, who had felt stifled for years now, finally vented her frustrations, not giving them a way out at all.

Clara coughed. "How about you just bring us to the vaults. We can decide other matters later."

The old Kun Peng's wanted to use Clara to vent their anger after hearing her speak. Who was she to intervene under these conditions? But, sensing the sharp gaze of Ri, it was clear that whoever could be by the Elvin Queen's side was no normal individual. They could only swallow their words.

Soon, seven sorry figures escorted two "little girls" to an underwater city that was quite an extraordinary sight. The problem was that it was designed for humans, so much of the city was left deserted. They could only build a crude replica some ways away.

"The vaults are below, Your Majesty. We cannot enter due to our size, I hope that you understand."

Ri ignored them, taking Clara's hand and drifting below to enter a grand crystal palace.

"Ancestor, are we really doing this?" The Head of the Kun Peng Clan spoke with some dissatisfaction. He had actually fallen to the mere 1st celestial realm.

Before he could react, a silver fin slapped the back of his scaled head, sending him tumbling through the water.

"Fool! You call me ancestor despite me being a mere pseudo dao expert, aren't you embarrassed? Is this the limit of our Kun Peng Race?

"The beast taming ability of the Elvin Race is unparalleled. They were among the most powerful races to ever exist specifically because they could use their strengths to become masters of things they had no business delving into.

"Are the elves truly sovereigns? Of course not! They gained their air of sovereignty after subduing the Dragons!

"Are the elves truly one with nature, gaining extended lives, and being loved by energy? Of course not! They gained Heaven's Blessing by subduing the Fairies!

"Why is it that the elves are born with such powerful bodies, making even the weakest of them talents equivalent to Earth Grade constitution wielders? It's because they subdued Clans like the Mino Clan!

"Why are they also somehow Masters of Magic and Curses? It's because they subdued us, the Rainbow Kun Pengs!

"Our ancestors have done us a great disservice by daring to go against this Elvin Queen. The only reason I didn't immediately kneel is because I knew that we would not be treated well under her faction because of them.

"No matter who it is, as long as they were once under the purview of the Elvin Kingdom, they will immediately submit to her. Say something stupid again and I'll slap you to death personally!"

Ri and Clara walked through the palace. For the first time in months, they could finally breathe real air. It seemed that the palace was covered by some sort of protective formation to keep all of the water out.

In truth, this may seem simple, but it proved just how powerful this formation was. In the mortal world, it was already impossible to reach the very bottom of the ocean without drastic measures, and that was even before it expanded by millions of times its original size. So, just how many tons of pressure could be applied under an ocean that spanned 20 universes?!

Before, Ri could only use her comprehension of water will to ignore this pressure and help Clara, but obviously a formation had no such comprehension. That meant it accomplished this with absolute power! If Clara was correct, such a formation could withstand the full strike of even a dao expert.

Ri didn't bother standing on ceremony and directly pushed open the vaults. Doors that the Kun Peng had spent everything to open, only to end up cursed, swung as though they were as light as a feather under Ri's touch. The difference was clear and obvious.

In the next moment, Ri and Clara were blinded by a flashing light. By the time their vision cleared, they realized that this so-called light wasn't actually so, but rather the reflection of treasures that stretched for several kilometers. Even Clara's normally cold expression gave way to shock.

"This is what remains of the Elvin Kingdom? Then what the hell did they lose?" Clara muttered incredulously.

However, this reality let them realize something else. The accumulations of Sects and Clans that had existed for millions of years wasn't something they could fathom.

One had to remember that there had never been a single individual who built up a Clan from nothing to the Emperor God Clan grade in one lifetime. Much like the Demon Sage, many had come close, but none succeeded.

If it was so difficult to become just a mere Emperor God Clan, then what about those Comet Grade Clans? What about the glorious Planet and Star Grade Clans of the past?
